Somehow, I got an ambivalent feeling about the Ultimateverse as well. I really love the modern Avengers, both the new as well as the mighty ones, and I stick to them. But when I first found out about the Ultimates - I'm from Germany, here it takes some time to figure such things out - I really, reylly enjoyed them. The detail changes of costumes as well as of their characters are well done. For exapmle, I didn't ever enjoyed the asgardian Gods thing with Thor and his folks, but creating the new Thor by leaving us somehow in the dark about whether he's a new age freak or really Odinsson is a nice turn, I guess. So, I love the Ultimates, but have no use for the rest of this universe, although both story continuties sometimes confuse me, like wasn't Iron Man supposed to, ah, darn, that was the other universe...
So, making that point clear, I'd love to have a box set of the Ultimates, or at least Ultimate Thor - I like the beard, the not-wearing-that-helmet-thing and the new Mjolnir design - and of course Mr. Jackson as Nick Fury! Give me both and I am a happy man
By the way, I don't like that ultimate Iron Man outfit that much as most of you seem to do here. Isn't his helmet some kind of monkeyish?
